Hawaii has been shaped by community heroes, leaders, and role models for sharing and giving—from the Hawaiian monarchy to corporate citizens to inspiring individuals. We hope these videos illustrate that you too, can be easily counted among them.
Our Legacy: We come from people, who loved their people...
In 2016, the Hawaii Community Foundation asked Kealoha, poet laureate for the State of Hawaii, to write a piece about how giving has shaped Hawaii. He performed Our Legacy at HCF’s Centennial events across the state and inspired attendees so much, that they lent their voices to his poem as well. These videos were the result...
We had so many enthusiastic participants in the “Our Legacy” project, that we could not fit them all in one video. If you participated, but did see yourself, look here!
